I'm not much of a baseball buff, much less a baseball history buff. But it is a fascinating game.
The interesting character I discovered playing the game so far, is
Addie Joss. The neat thing is, when I traded him from Philadelphia (where he had been drafted as a rookie in 1902 I guess) I really had no idea the guy had any real fame.
He along with Cy Young (who, yes! I had heard of before) are the two best pitchers in the major leagues right now, and make a rather perfect two-man starting rotation really.
